Most of those are generally heard in the south of england really. Geezer basically is just another way of saying man. Lairy is used to describe someone who is behaving aggressively. Sharp Darts I suspect is some sort of cockney rhyming slang i'll try find out what that one is. Cocky Rhyming slang is great by the way! http://www.cockneyrhymingslang.co.uk/

One kinda related comment: It did surprised me at the AMG in San Francisco that I could understand Chris (Manchester) quite well. No problems at at all. Debbra was another matter. Still love the English accent and it's an added bonus when I can actually understand the words.Mike

Leery is also in American dictionaries to be wary or suspicious of someone. Are you sure you don't mean lorry as in " Me ole china was leery of the lorry driver wanting a cuppa Rosie after getting Brahms and Liszt!"

"My friend was wary of the truck driver wanting a cup of tea after getting drunk"Ali who lived up the road from the Bow Bells

p.s not all cockney rhymes such as "pine apple " and yob. Alot of cockney is also reversed english- yob- boy, just rabbiting on!

Strange isn't Mike some people had the problem the other way round they could understand Debra but not me. Some people even thought we were Australian!

YOu have a very soft, dulcet voice that I would hardly call "American"

Thirty 35 years ago (yeah I'm getting old) I was in Budapest at the opera. My friend and I were talking and we were interrupted by the couple behind us who asked us where we were from. When I told them (US) they found it hard to believe. I guess they had never heard someone from Colorado although my friends here in California think I have a New England accent.
